These lights (check engine, VSC Trac, VSC Off) all lit up on my dash earlier this week and have stayed on. Tried tightening the gas cap with no help. Today I had an auto shop run a diagnostic check and they told me that I have 2 problems. The main problem is that the right rear oxygen sensor...

I did leave a message for the service mgr. who was a service advisor and helped me when the frame was replaced the last time. In the message I said that regardless of whether the new frame was an updated replacement part or not it was obviously defective to have gone bad in 2 years. I will...

I did a search and didn't find this thread until after I started a new one, sorry about that. The dealership replaced the drivers seat frame assembly on my 04 with the new part(71120-35151) two years ago. Now 10,000 miles out of warranty it is doing the exact same thing that it was doing in 07...

Ditto, My VSC light stayed on until I had one of the oxygen sensor's replaced. That was about a year and 1/2 ago and it hasn't happened again. From what I read at the time it seems to be a common problem. Don't ask me what the VSC has to do with an O2 sensor but that's the warning light that...

I visited my dealer this week to have them look at my drivers seat(that's another thread) and to have them address the steering vibration. I mentioned reading here about a long TSB on the issue. The service writer told me later that they had found the TSB but the problem was only with Dunlop...

The dealer can re-program the system to unlock all of the doors(including the hatch) with only one press of the unlock button. I like it that way much better. The only problem I had was that my after factory alarm started going off after they re-programmed and couldn't be disarmed. I had to...

Mine came with the OBX pedals. I was thinking about going back to the factory pedals because I constantly catch my foot on the right side of the brake pedal when going from the brake to the gas. It sounds like the problem could be worse though with the factory pedals if there is less clearance...

I was able to shove the clip in under the visor extension on the drivers side. My remote is the same length as the visor is wide so it fits there pretty well. It's convenient to reach and doesn't interfere with the visor except of course using the extension which I never do. Ultimately I would...

I called also. They wanted my vin number too but since I didn't have it they were able to look me up in the computer. The guy I talked to said that they didn't automatically send the concerns to engineering but instead reviewed them at the corp. office. Regardless I agree that if enough people...

Hmmmm, I understand why recirculate will cool the cabin faster when you have the AC on. That is because you don't want to suck in more warm & humid air when the AC is trying to cool the air that's inside. But when you don't have the AC on the only way to cool the interior is to replace the...

Thanks Vortec4800, I kinda figured that was the case with the temp. sensor. Sitting in the sun all day would cause it to read higher than it should. My parents used to live in Lake Havasu City so I know how hot it gets there. What still doesn't make sense to me is why the system would want to...

Wow, it looks like I set off a hot topic. I have yet to drive the vehicle in the winter so I haven't experienced the recirculate turning on/off like some of you talked about. So far all I have noticed is that it is always on when I start the vehicle. I wonder if it is somehow hooked up to the...

It seems to follow the same rules as if the AC were on. Re-circulate would give you maximum cooling if it were hot and humid out. When you get into your car on a warm day and just want some cooler outside air it forces you to press the button to turn it off every time. How much lower than 65...

Hi all. I have a 04 SE V6 that I purchased in April. I have yet to have any real problems with my new vehicle but there are a couple of annoyances. One of which is that the air recirculate control is always on when I start the truck. Whenever I have the temp. control turned all the way to low...
